Hello

i tried to have a function who could move one atom or a list anyplace in another list 

,  but now i would like to have the options to move this atom or list with or without parenthesis  , see option a option b  option a2 option b2 .

I have no idea how i can implement several result options in a function  , could you please explain me how to do that 

 

Thank you 

 

Patrick

 

 

her are the functions i'd use as helping functions

 

(defun list-diff (L1 L2)
  (cond
    ((null L1) nil)
    ((null (member (first L1) L2)) (cons (first L1) (list-diff (rest L1) L2)))
    (t (list-diff (rest L1) L2))
  )
)

(defun hasSublistp (lst)
    (cond ((null lst) nil)
          ((listp (first lst)) t)
          (t (hasSublistp (rest lst)))))

 

This is the final one 

 

(defun consxp (rang item lis )
  (setq oldlist lis)
  (setq newlist ( nthcdr rang oldlist ))
   (setq litem (list item))
   
  (cond

   ( ( and ( listp item ) (hassublistp oldlist ))
     ; OPTION A    (append (list-diff  oldlist newlist  ) (list item) (nthcdr rang oldlist )))

     ; OPTION B    (append (list-diff  oldlist newlist  ) item (nthcdr rang oldlist )))

 

   (( and ( atom item ) (hassublistp oldlist ))
; OPTION A2         (append (list-diff  oldlist newlist  ) (cons (list item) (nthcdr rang oldlist ))))

; OPTION B2         (append (list-diff  oldlist newlist  ) (cons item (nthcdr rang oldlist ))))
   
        (( listp item )
         
         (append (list-diff oldlist newlist )   item (nthcdr rang oldlist )))
        
        (( atom item )
         
         (append (list-diff oldlist newlist )   (cons  item  (nthcdr rang oldlist ))))))

 

 

 ;  ( consxp 2 '( a d a) '(a  (d)  c  )) option a ) for example 

 

 

 

 

Something like that using conditionnal "if" :

(defun consxp (rang item lis &key (option1 a) (option2 a))
  ......
  (cond
   ( ( and ( listp item ) (hassublistp oldlist ))
    (if (equal option1 a)
     (append (list-diff  oldlist newlist  ) (list item) (nthcdr rang oldlist ))
     (append (list-diff  oldlist newlist  ) item (nthcdr rang oldlist ))))
 
   (( and ( atom item ) (hassublistp oldlist ))
    (if (equal option2 a)
      (append (list-diff  oldlist newlist  ) (cons (list item) (nthcdr rang oldlist ))))
    (append (list-diff  oldlist newlist  ) (cons item (nthcdr rang oldlist ))))
   
       ........

 

Merci Super

Désolé  mais je n'arrive pas à 

le faire marcher en suivant vos instructions 

 

(defun consxp (rang item lis &key (option1 a) (option2 a) )
  (setq oldlist lis)
  (setq newlist ( nthcdr rang oldlist ))
   (setq litem (list item))
   
  (cond

   ( ( and ( listp item ) (hassublistp oldlist ))
         (if (equal option1 a))
     (append (list-diff  oldlist newlist  ) (list item) (nthcdr rang oldlist ))
     (append (list-diff  oldlist newlist  ) item (nthcdr rang oldlist )))

   (( and ( atom item ) (hassublistp oldlist ))
         (if (equal option2 a)
      (append (list-diff  oldlist newlist  ) (cons (list item) (nthcdr rang oldlist ))))
    (append (list-diff  oldlist newlist  ) (cons item (nthcdr rang oldlist ))))
   
        (( listp item )
         
         (append (list-diff oldlist newlist )   item (nthcdr rang oldlist )))
        
        (( atom item )
         
         (append (list-diff oldlist newlist )   (cons  item  (nthcdr rang oldlist ))))))

 

 

 ( consxp 2 '(a d a) '(a  (d)  c)     )))

Please check the code again it produces an error.

Sorry i cannot find it 

Je regarde et vous répond dès que possible.

 

S.

i think POSITION-INSERT can do what you want.

 

Example:

(position-insert '((2 3 4)) '((a d a)) '((a  (d)  c)))
=> ((a (d) a d a c))

(position-insert '((2 3 4)) '(((a d a))) '((a  (d)  c)))
=> ((a (d) (a d a) (a d a) (a d a) c))

(position-insert '(2 3 4) '(((a d a))) '((a  (d)  c)))
=> ((a (d) (a d a) c))

 

Please, have a look to the documentation of POSITION-INSERT and to my example and let me know if it's works for your need.

Yes it does the work very well but no for lists when i do:

(position-insert 2 '(g8 g3 g6 )  '(c4 c4 c4 c4 c4) :type list)
or
(position-insert 2 '(g8 g3 g6 )  '(c4 c4 c4 c4 c4) :type 'list) 

Thanks  Patrick

(position-insert 2 '((g8 g3 g6))  '(c4 c4 c4 c4 c4)) 
=>  (c4 c4 (g8 g3 g6) c4 c4 c4)

Thank you
